So I actually had a really great experience at Hilltop. I feel like with most education .. you get…read morewhat you pay for. Attending Hilltop was like attending university instead of a quick college course. There is no way I would have been able to learn on my own what I learned with the excellent instructors in class. During my time there instructors offered to give extra help and there was absolutely no charge for that. There were some old alumni and some current students there were offering tutoring at a price.. but that sort od thing is done everywhere! And I paid for my tuition myself, with a payment plan. Nobody pressured me into taking any kind of student loan, and I know for a fact that at least 50% of the students in my graduating class also paid for their own education. I found the education to be totally worth the price and I think that a lot of people would actually agree with me as many of my friends that graduated with me are successful trainers or group fitness instructors. So clearly my experience is the complete opposite of the girl above... I had a great time there and felt that I learned a lot. And I know that a lot of the students in my class, the previous classes and the students that started after me all feel the same way because we all stay in touch! Awesome School! It's the only way to go if you want real knowledge of the training industry. After the Personal Training Diploma Program ... if you are looking for more eduction... go for a kinesiology degree!

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be excited to be going to school every day? That's what…read moreit was like for me at Hilltop Academy! I gained so much knowledge from one of the most knowledgeable and gifted teachers, Donna, I have ever encountered - very passionate and with years of experience in the fitness industry. The instructors addressed any questions that I had. The course is technology-forward so we were encouraged to do practice quizzes using different methods not only limited to handouts but also different apps, websites, games and hands-on. As a visual-kinesthetic learner I need different learning tools beside books to make things more clear. It was amazing how instructors understood my learning style and supported me whenever I needed extra help. Best part was not only did I surrounded myself with like-mind people but I also gained great knowledge in the classroom, the gym and outside - in gorgeous Westminster Pier Park when the weather was nice. We learned invaluable information about the industry from guest speakers who also happened to be hiring manager and potential employers for many of us in the class. Moreover we enjoyed many field trips relevant to the material covered like to Flaman Fitness and Save-on-Foods for nutrition talk with Registered Dietician. I would highly recommend this course to others! Go Hilltop!

I was a guest client and then a student of this course. I love being in hypnosis... it is very…read morerelaxing and I found hypnosis helped me through a divorce (which is why I took the course.) I learned hypnosis is this course and could call myself a hypnotist. We had hours of work with guest clients. My complaint is that we only learned how to do the 'therapy' through book learning and discussion. This we never got to put into practice on humans. Each of the 4 of us in our course offered ourselves available for regression and therapy work but were not allowed to. There is not a follow up course offered here to get into the in-depth therapy work needed to be able to do other than surficial work with clients. Weight loss, smoking cessation, sports excellence, confidence etc. ...no problem...but deep emotional work was only talked about...never practiced or shown on a client... so many, many grads of this course are out there with a few tools in their 'toolbox' and NO experience dealing with deep seated emotional trauma.

I am an "expert" beginner sewer, having taken several first-time classes over the last 15 years or…read moreso. In the past, maybe due to uninspiring projects (what's so popular about making pyjamas?!) or boring teachers, I've never really followed up and taken up the hobby of sewing. I wanted to give it another try and I was lucky this time around with Carley at SewGood. I was looking for a sewing class in my area, and SewGood fit the bill. On top of that, her website is very well made, and filled me with confidence when deciding to take one of her classes. I once again chose the absolute beginner class, "level 1" not wanting to skip ahead and then realizing I've forgotten how to do a proper something or other. In this class, we learned how to make an elastic waist band skirt over the duration of four, three hour classes. Carley is an excellent teacher, very warm and welcoming, and definitely knows her stuff. She made learning easy for myself and for the absolute beginners in the class as well. Her work space is perfect, suited for four people (the max class size) and stocked with everything you could possibly need (including some warm tea when you're in the mood!). Initially, I had some misgivings about the project itself, not being much of a skirt-wearer, but happy that at least it wasn't pyjamas. However, the skirt has turned out very nicely, and Carley helped all of us make certain alterations to each of our patterns (particularly in the length department). The end result is a skirt I will actually wear our in public! I took it home last night after our last class, paired it with a cute brightly colored top and a wide belt (admittedly, the elastic waist band is a little juvenile if you tuck your shirt in and go as is) and it looks like a nice, store bought skirt. I'm definitely looking forward to signing up for Carley's next class, Level 2, where we learn how to make a more fitted pencil skirt. She has so many project ideas and is open to suggestions if there is enough interest. For the beginner, intermediate or experienced sewer, I would definitely recommend Carley's Sew Good classes.

Carley is an excellent teacher and such a friendly welcoming person. In her beginner classes Carley makes sure you know the basics including how to take body measurements, how to use a commercial pattern, information about different types of fabrics and how to choose the appropriate one as well as how to lay out and cut your fabric. She also ensures that you are knowledgeable about the basics of a sewing machine and how to use certain tools. Carley is willing to answer any questions you have along the way and she is very helpful in doing so. Once you have taken a few of her classes you will have learned anything you will ever need to know about sewing, allowing you to produce your own garments at home! With Carley's help I have built a successful portfolio and have been accepted into Kwantlen's program. I sincerely recommend Carley at SewGood if you are interested in learning to sew!

The classes at AVA Fitness are so much fun, and they're great for people of all levels. I really…read moreenjoy it here. While I haven't had a chance to try out all the different types of classes, I've noticed that some require more independence than others; in particular, in the mixed level classes, the instructor will often teach moves and instruct you to practice with other people of your level, and leave you on your own for a bit while she tends to the people of the other level(s), and she goes back and forth. Most days this works well, but some days you're left on your own for a little longer than you anticipated. Still, there's loooots to practice, so that time alone isn't a bad thing as long as you use it wisely. If you were thinking of giving pole dance a try, definitely come here! Because their facility is a bit small, make sure you download their app and book well in advance. Many classes book up quickly!
